Notice what all of these have in common? No big company had absolute control over them (unless you were silly enough to use AIM or MSN instead of a jabber chat client, but even then ...). Sure, you might have hosted your blog at Blogger and your email at Gmail, but it was trivially easy to move them around, especially if you used your own domain name instead of theirs.<br /><br />Twitter, Tumblr, FB, and G+ bring huge new functionality to communications in our networks, but in exchange, we give them the right to absolute censorship over everything we say or do. G+ and Twitter exercise that censorship with a light hand, while FB is extremely intrusive; the real problem, however, isn't that FB acts like a jerk, but that we willingly put ourselves in the position where FB's jerkiness can affect us.<br /><br />The future -- one I feel passionately about -- is our ability to get the features and tools we enjoy from these proprietary services out into more open networks. It's not impossible: email used to be proprietary before the general public moved to the Internet (remember AOL and Compuserve?), and even phone companies didn't used to allow their customers to call customers of other phone companies. It's going to take a ton of work, but eventually, I hope, big monolithic "social-networking" companies like Facebook and Twitter will seem as much dinosaurs as Compuserve does today.davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194758376900990105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879006027819443616.post-21105897515121297642012-04-17T22:55:08.113-04:002012-04-17T22:55:08.113-04:00I understand, Ivan.

These people are absolute prudes, even when the nudity is non-sexual. They are the ones I want to call out.Tom Megginsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342481605991016501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879006027819443616.post-91685606962401561822012-04-17T22:48:44.066-04:002012-04-17T22:48:44.066-04:00I got warned by Facebook twice for posting risky s...I got warned by Facebook twice for posting risky stuff.
